Question

Isaiah is planning to send a video game to each of his

two brothers. If he buys the same game for both
brothers and pays $4.75 to ship each game, how
much can he spend on each game without spending
more than $100?Write and solve an inequality for
this situation.

Answer 1

x = 45.25 and 2x + 9.50 < 100

Explanation:

Okay, so I dont know if you want am explanation but here I go

if for each game shipping is 4.75, you multiply by 2 to find the total there, hence 9.5.

and you dont want to go over $100, so the amount you spent has to be less then $100

and you're going to buy 2 games, x stands for the price.

2x + 9.50 < 100

2x < 90.5 (i just subtracted 9.5 on each side)

2/2x = 90.5/2

x = 45.25
